I didn't know about the MPC app.　It's going to be very useful ！

So, I immediately googled MPC.　I found out that ESTA certification is required.

I also read about ESTA certification.

"ESTA （ Electronic System for Travel Authorization ） is an electronic travel authorization system for travelers from countries participating in the U.S. Visa Waiver Program （ VWP ） to the United States for short-term business ・ tourism purposes of 90 days or less. The electronic travel authorization system is used to obtain a travel authorization prior to boarding a flight from a U.S. Visa Waiver Program VWP country to the U.S. for short-term business tourism for 90 days or less.　The following is a list of the countries that are participating in the system.

In other words.

I am a GC holder, not a short stay visitor, so unfortunately I can't seem to use this app.　 （ Too bad ！ ）

But it seems that if many US visitors use this MPC app, they will use a different line of entry, so I guess it will help us as a result ？
First of all, thanks for the valuable information! ！

By the way, parking fee.　
Arrival （ Scheduled ） A little bit earlier than the time, I was waiting for me at LAX, so it was a little bit more expensive. \．

MPC application, I used it last year to enter the country. I am a green card holder and my son is a citizen, but we were able to use it.
You can register your family together. It was summer vacation, but the MPC lane was very fast and very empty, so I recommend it.

＃ 7 I checked again about MPC based on K's information.

Below is the updated information.　

＝ ＝ Who can use MPC ＝ ＝

US citizens
US permanent residents
Canadian citizens with US B1/B2 visa
Those traveling for the second or later time with ESTA authorization

（ Therefore, green card holders were also okay ！ (happy ） ）

＝ ＝ Examples of available airports ＝ ＝

John ・ F ・ Kennedy International （ JFK ） , Los Angeles International （ LAX ） , San Francisco International （ SFO ） , Daniel ・ K ・ Inouye International （ HNL ）, Chicago ・ O'Hare International （ ORD ）, Seattle ・ Tacoma International （ SEA ）, Harry ・ Reed International Airport （ LAS ） etc

＃ 8 K asked a question.

What about if you are at LAX （ international but land at ） UA terminal or something.

Yes ！ Green card holders can also use it.

I was ready to use it and installed it, but the wifi at EWR was unstable and I could not use it. Canadian citizens, US citizens, and permanent residents were in the same line, so it took almost no time at all.
On a side note, when I told immigration that I had been to Morocco, they asked me if I had ridden a camel ？. （ Bomb ）

By the way, when I pick you up at LAX, I wait in the parking lot of the nearby Carl's Jr. and when I get my luggage, I get a call and head curbside.

The date for another trip to Japan is approaching this year, and I will be bringing my cell phone with me, which is a T-Mobile cell phone.

Currently, when you arrive in Japan and get off the plane, your cell phone is automatically connected to the cell phone company, right?

I haven't been to Japan for the past 2 years, so I don't know the current situation in that area.

If you have been to Japan recently, please let us know how your cellphone works when you arrive in Japan,

or what kind of operation you have to do.

Three days ago, on May 21, I "returned" to LAX because I am a US citizen. I usually fly ANA, but this was my first time to fly Zip Air. I think it was $ 510 for a round trip (same as other airlines, but I forgot the exact price due to my late age).

As for seat comfort, I think it was slightly narrower than JAL/ANA. I was born a full year before the end of the war and have a long torso and short legs, but when I try to sit comfortably, my knees just touch the back of the front seat.

Also, there is no monitor screen in the front, that is, on this side of the backrest of the front seat. If you want to watch movies, you have to bring your own Laptop or IPad. My wife was watching a recorded drama on the IPad, while I was listening to music with the earphones she lent me. The earphones are tiny ones that go in your ears.

As an overall evaluation, I have the impression that it is not "cheap or bad" but "cheap so this is what you get". I recommend it to those who want to keep the round-trip fee low.

Most of this trip to Japan was also spent in Tokyo.

We went to Kaminarimon-dori in Asakusa to buy sweatshirts with hiragana characters on them as souvenirs, especially for Segare and Totsan, both of whom are of Totsan age.

However, it was the day of the annual Sanja Festival in Asakusa. So, the Nakamise street was so crowded that foreign tourists and others could not walk there properly.

It was also lunch time and all the diners and restaurants were full. Finally, I found a small restaurant and peeked in, only to find that a couple of oriental tourists had just finished eating and were leaving, so I was lucky to get in.

I wonder what was on the menu. I'm too late in life to remember. I have a vague memory of eating cold tokoroten as well. Even that simple thing was served with nostalgia.

I remember eating kanten and tokoroten.

""" [Pilgrimage] 23-year-old girl, Day 21 of a solo walking pilgrimage ｜ A steep incline and a pass buried in vegetation （ Touge ） The road and the spectacular view ahead silenced even my weak voice "" ""

As the title suggests, a young and pretty girl has posted a "walking pilgrimage" in Shikoku on YouTube
A young and pretty girl shows her "walking pilgrimage" on YouTube.
Every day when she arrives at her lodgings, she posts a video of the day on YouTube. I think this is a great ability.

I think it takes a lot of time and a lot of effort to edit and upload the video taken that day with a video camera from the time you arrive at the lodge to the time you go to bed. For me, it takes a whole day just to edit a video that I shot for only one hour. I've almost never edited a video before that.

Before that, I walk all day in the mountains and rivers of Shikoku ・ and when I get to the inn, I take a bath, eat dinner, and then moo, I'm off to bed.

Is there dried koji in refrigeration ？ I looked it up and found that dried koji is when the water content is reduced to about 10%, so maybe it is not that dry …

In Japan It seems to be everywhere, but at 99Ranch I was told that they don't even know what koji is, so I am having difficulty. I don't know much about it and I'm not good at explaining it either 😞

Thanks again for the price increase🫠😊.

Before the Corona fiasco, I used to take free bus tours to casinos,
comp hotels, and spend most weekends playing golf for a senior fee.
The participants were of all races and ages, and it was quite enjoyable, but
now, ？ for some reason, the free bus trips seem to have disappeared.
Going to the local senior center is not very interesting.
I wonder if there is some place where the elderly can spend their time in peace ？ ？ ？
Every week, my wifey takes me to Pasadena for ballroom dancing, and I spend my waiting time in the park.
This is pretty good without spending money ！ If you ask Are you Alone? in rapid succession, you'll run into quite a few beautiful women. 、、、、、

！ I did it again ！

Today （ I drove ） to a nearby city senior center (about 2miles away) for a yoga class for the elderly
My wife drove me to the center.

I went into the room where the yoga class was held, spread out the equipment and waited for the class, but Dahlemo did not show up. I went to the receptionist and asked her about it, but she told me that there was no class today.

I had no choice but to pack my gear and ask my wife to pick me up to go home. The phone function has been turned off because of the fees.

My yoga gear including iron arrays is very heavy. I carried it all the way to my house in the heat. This is what I call "stepping on it and kicking it". Well, let's think positively that it was a good exercise.

I am a late-aged Bikinman, over 80 years old.

I am constantly battling with my anpanics and I am feeling the vapors these days.

I'm also starting to get the "blahs" of late age, but I haven't had any major obstacles in my real life yet.

The larger one is also doing kaipen every morning without any problems.

I walk for almost an hour every day.

While walking, I use my smart phone to play hit songs from Japan (Japanese ・ US) that were popular when I was young.

Paul ・ Anka, Neil ・ Sedaka, Connie ・ Francis, etc.

What were your memorable hits from your youth?

Connie Francis' ♪ Among My Souvenirs ♪ is a great one.

＞ Paul ・ Anka, Neil ・ Sedaka, Connie ・ Francis,

You all know these guys.

And Elvis ・ Presley, and many others, but they don't come up in the blurbs.

In Japanese songs, ♪ Boku wa nai chichi, yokomuite, nai chichi ♪ and so on.

Ayumi Ishida's ♪ Blue Light ・ Yokohama ♪ and Mieko Hirota,

I could go on and on, but I can't name the singers because of my foggy memory 😢
In addition, music inserted in movies like "The Railroad Man" was also a hit in those days.

Old blokes like me seem to like the phrase "back then".

"In those days," even though televisions were becoming more and more popular, I was still bitten by the radio to listen to the hit parade. Sweat.

Yesterday, after attending the graduation ceremony for my grandson's high school graduation, all three generations gathered at our house for a party.

My wife prepared the meal from the morning, and we had a dinner table full of food and drinks.

My grandson will be a college student this fall. This means that we, the granddaughters, will be in our later years of life.

It's about time to "pick them up". I am still in perfect health.
